I hope everyone had a great summer achieving goals while also spending time to relax and recharge. We are entering a new academic year which means I will resume my blog on a regular basis.
There were many accomplishments in FY16 through both individual and collective efforts; too many to list here, but they include:
- Adopting a new PSU Strategic Plan
- Finalizing our joint School of Public Health with OHSU and hiring its founding dean.
- Creating five new academic programs and 10 certificates.
- Completing or making significant progress on 24 reTHINK PSU projects; including advances in advising redesign.
- Working collaboratively through the Interest-Based Bargaining process with our faculty unions, PSUFA and PSU AAUP, to establish collective bargaining agreements.
- Individuals and groups of faculty and staff publishing articles, and receiving grant awards and honors.
- Continuing to improve our campus space with building renovations and expansions.
- Establishing task forces on African-American/Black and Asian/Pacific Islander Student Success.
